Default Share one secret about your blog

Share a secret about your blog that you have never divulged to your regular blog readers before.

My blog: Wise Bread.

My secret: While we've never officially named our pig mascot, I usually refer to him as Wilbur as a tribute to one of my favorite childhood books.

One of my blogs, An Unschooling Life is host to the monthly blog carnival (a blog carnival is a bunch of reader submitted blog posts on a related topic-this one is unschooling) called Unschooling Voices and every month I wait until the day before it's due to come out, to get working on it. Can you say procrastination? LOL

I normally only work on my blog when my husband is watching Heroes and is distracted from paying attention to what is on my screen. Since the writer's strike its been harder finding time to put in entries.

I started my blog on Blogger. A day later, I migrated to WordPress. A week after that, I put it on its own domain. So somewhere out there, a couple of people who noticed my early efforts now have broken links. I also feel pretty bad for dragging my friend Dave from one blog to the next, since he was my first reader ever and went through all 3 iterations before I finally settled in one place. I remember emailing him every other day with "This is the new site ..."

A secret, huh? Hmm, well... I have a tattoo of our 2Dolphins website logo on my shoulder:



Does that count?

My blog is written in Chinese. So my secret is... sometimes I write about problems with boyfriend, work, etc... and don't have to worry about them reading it. They can't read Chinese! ^^

UH-OH Eileen! There are free online text translators available. Then again, I'm not sure how many offer Chinese to English.

Oopsy... I hope my bf doesn't know how to use those online translating program because.... I just wrote about a secret today.

Wanna know the secret? Monday night I was with him getting tea from a store, and ran into an ex-bf. I pretended that I didn't see him and quickly left the store. Didn't want my bf to know about that. (Now let's hope he didn't read this forum.... haha)

And Will, please don't tell what you read on my blog!
